I am sorry you are freaking out, but you are asking great questions and educating yourself...that is the best you can do right now while you wait of further test results.
High- grade means "precancerous". This does not mean you have cancer, but it is important to know that there is a chance, and to educate yourself on what it means, and what treatment options are available. You are having excellent tests done, and if you are catching abnormal precancerous cells, this is actually very good news that these can be treated, in hopes to prevent them from becoming cancerous. Precancerous does not necessarily mean that the cells will inevitably become cancerous, but there is a greater chance.
